We performed a comparison between Azure Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten."
"The solution's support and its automation tool that ensures we are secure and appropriately configured are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift."
"It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS."
"In Kubernetes, when traffic goes out of a pod, it has to have its own IP address. Every service that's going out requires another IP. But with OpenShift, you don't have to deal with any of those IPs because they use NAT."
"It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase."
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessibility and scalability."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"The developers seem to like the source-to-image feature. That makes it easy for them to deploy an application from code into containers, so they don't have to think about things. They take it straight from their code into a containerized application. If you don't have OpenShift, you have to build the container and then deploy the container to, say, EKS or something like that."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"I love to automate everything and OpenShift was been born for that. It takes care of the network layer itself and I don't need to dive into it; I can work on a top level. Our project has numerous services designed to run in Docker containers, and we have run almost all pieces in OpenShift."
"OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"Excellent GUI support, so one does not need to use the command line client for almost any tasks. Great support for building images directly from Git repositories with hooks."
"One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of orchestration. While Azure orchestration offers valuable features, it's worth noting that it may not match the level of orchestration provided by Kubernetes itself."
"Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved."
"They need to improve the core licensing model."
"Automation could be improved."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"The software-defined networking part of it caused us quite a bit of heartburn. We ran into a lot of problems with the difference between on-prem and cloud, where we had to make quite a number of modifications... They've since resolved it, so it's not really an issue anymore."
"Autoscaling is a very unique feature, but it could be useful to have more options based on traffic statistics, for example, via Prometheus. So, there should be more ready solutions to autoscale based on specific applications."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"The solution only offers support for one server."
"Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required."
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement."
